Iron Sharpens Iron

Friendships are pure bliss if they consist of the right souls. I have learned in life, that you can't do it alone. You need people to be by your side to encourage and support you. You also need people who challenge you to be the best version of yourself. Surround yourself with those who instruct you in love and believe in you. "The only way to have a friend is to be one" -Ralph Waldo Emerson. You need to be that friend that you want to have by your side. A relationship involves give and take. Surrounding yourself with the right people is essential.

I am beyond blessed to be on the adventure of life with the people who I have surrounded myself with; friends that are so inspiring, positive, and just make it so effortless. Friendships like that are golden. I heard a speaker recently say, "It's not so much about what you do in life, as it is who you do it with". Life and all of the wonders that encompass it, are meant to be shared with those closest to you. Those who enter your life have that privilege, so guard your heart. Seek those who uplift you, share the same values, and simply make you laugh until you cry. Seriously, there will be hard times and the loveliest of times, and you will need good sense of humor. Don't focus so much on doing or you can miss the moment. Solely be in the moment and you will look around and see beautiful faces who are there by your side. Be filled with kindness, open eyes, and a discerning heart!
